I started my professional practice in 1994 as an Engineer in training in a steel manufacturing company. Since 1994, I have worked in various industries including the oil and gas industry, projects, manufacturing environment, the mining industry and currently run my own business. My experience in the mining industries cover a wide range of commodities like gold, platinum and iron ore. I have worked in the ore-processing plant, open pit areas, underground hard rock areas and trackless declines. I have also been a mining auditor performing technical auditing functions throughout the Anglo American platinum group. My qualifications include a Master’s degree in industrial Engineering, a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with Honors, a few certificates in project management, leadership development and a government certificate of competence (mines and works). I am also affiliated to some professional bodies amongst which are ECSA, AMRE and ASME. Seeing that I have also been a shaft engineer, project engineer, production engineer, asset manager, audit manager and a section engineering manager in an open pit environment, I can therefore lay claims to having knowledge of various standards applied in the mining industries, manufacturing and construction environment. I see myself as willing to accept clearly defined responsibilities, an effective and energetic team player and leader, a cool and collective planner, equipped with a gift on insight and foresight, can be described as emotionally intelligent and easily adaptable to the organizations’ values and systems. And often can overcome the constraints of time, budget and scope even at great personal sacrifice. People that have worked for me and with me and have come to know me will generally remark that I am a dependable colleague and a dear friend.
